Audit Logging

The Audit Logging interface allows administrators to configure and test log messages along with defining retention policies.

Audit log settings are configured globally for all applications and modules. Audit logs can be sent to a file, database, and/or a Syslog server. The database connection for audit is configured in the RapidIdentity CLI Menu and can be the same as or different from the configuration database.

Local Server Logs

The Local Server Logs interface allows administrators a quick view of the server logs on which RapidIdentity is installed. The default setting is 1000 lines, however, administrators can choose to modify the line number by manually entering a different number or using the number chooser when the cursor is placed in the Lines box.
